So many factors affect time. Things like weather, experience, motivation, age, health, ability, tools, products, goals, location, facility, and lots more. I used to work with a guy that was twice my age, made half of my wage, yet would routinely out produce me. But then again, this guy...

Depends on the type of paint (manufacturer). you go scrubbing back and forth on an Asian manufactured car and you end up with damage that then needs to be sanded and compounded. And hopefully you didnt make it too thin. Now, on my Mercedes, I can scrub for hours and not damage the finish...

That "fix" is a joke. Been there many times. Light compound first. Man, I need to start selling miracle products for $60 that take the place of products we all already own. If compound doesnt work, nothing will but replace or repaint. Seen it 1,000 times before. Yes its clear plastic coated...

You gotta get out of the house more often. I offered. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

I only live about 2 hours from here, in Indy, but have a house on lake Cumberland in south central kentucky, about 1 hour away. Would like to attend, but I tend to throw out the "s" word a bit, which is frowned upon in this establishment. If only car guys could be car guys. Sent from my...

Again, simple. Light compound first. Heavier if needed. Then polish. Its just oxidation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Exactly....see it every day. 99% of cars have this from putting things in and out of the trunk. Sand, compound, polish. Done. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Tried my dupray today. Didn't touch it. But thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Not a bad idea. I'm thinking a mobile teeth whitening truck. Easy for me to sell, my wife owns a hair salon that already offers it. Bob, interested? Decent teeth, no? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Bob, I will hire you at $12 an hour, and make you my shop supervisor. There is no way I could ever find someone with your knowledge. The offer is real. Move to indianapolis and get started tomorrow. I'm serious. Your knowledge is second to none, and I'm sure your skill level is even more...

And those chemicals that you describe as not being able to be cleaned with a mop or hose are not chemicals that are found in a detail shop. We aren't dealing with nitroglycerin here. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

I'm thinking you live in a perfect world where accidents dont happen and split seconds mean everything. Or you are having a hard time with the 21st century world that has past you by. Its not what it used to be. I know a lot of 60+ year olds who have the same "problem". They think its still a...

Yes we all have to be compliant. having a business that deals with lots of chemicals means the government will do what the government does best.....over-regulate. If I ever got lacquer thinner in my eyes, I would run to the wash station, not the MSDS book. I would be blind before I even found...

Agree, but what does that have to do with knowing how to read an MSDS sheet? I was the class president of my auto body 2 year course, have gone to 3 different detailing "schools", shop has been in business for years, and MSDS sheets have never been spoken of at any point. I once worked at a...

OP, do tell us what you ARE doing for your day job to get a house and car like that, since its not detailing. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Not sure if serious, Bob. Does the average consumer even know how to read an MSDS sheet, let alone know the chemical makeup of the ingredients they are reading about? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Absolutely no more products needed. You have more than enough chemicals. But tell us about how much experience you have working on high end vehicles. Especially for dealers. Tools and experience is what it takes. Buy good products, let the tool do the work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using...

First thing I thought of was concrete remover. I dont have any and no its not concrete. Looks exactly like white road paint. No grit to it. No color but solid bright white Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

um.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AG Online

Depending on the condition I would certainly see a good 2 gallon pump sprayer work for rinsing wheels. (Or even a 5 gallon bucket of water) If no car wash is nearby, get one. They are cheap. I actually just bought a small one this week to apply interior cleaners. When you do this every...
